Reshuffling Relations: Bottoms for Christ: No Fixed Positions with Estrellx Supernova (performance)

Bottoms for Christ: No Fixed Positions is a solo that explores my desire to develop a relationship to the erotic that is spiritual, reciprocal, consensual. This solo is also a practice in telling the truth about what has gotten in the way of letting my freak flag fly high. Thus, the core score within this work is called inhabiting paradox, a kind of tender wrestling between my present self, outdated conditioning, energetic wounds, and the arrival of my future self…moment to moment to moment.
long:
I grew up attending very conservative Latinx Pentecostal churches in the U.S. and memories from this era have been surfacing up within my consciousness lately. I am not necessarily interested in unpacking my relationship to Pentecostal Christianity within this work, but I am interested in revealing parts of the spiritual ecosystem I have created for myself (based on this initial belief system) that honor my queerness, belief in something greater than my physical self, belief in God/dess.
These initial episodes of Bottoms for Christ will implement a mixture of movement, tableaux vivante, voice, and audience engagement as mechanisms for excavating alternative subjectivities of the erotic in service of expressing what it has felt like (and feels like) to engage with intimacy after corporeal-relational ruptures have occurred. The work asks, “What is safe enough for me right now and then again right now? How can a heart-centered gaze support my body with softening? Can we touch without touching or without demanding specific expectations? What part of you aches? What part of you experiences the most pleasure?”
In future performative episodes, I will share insights into the beauty of missed encounters, glory holes as pseudo black holes, the phenomenon of Twin Flames, intimacy choreography, kink and fetish play, rendering the messy art of consent and negotiation visible, phantom limbs, and more.
